the third assault brigade becomes clear how difficult the operational situation was. however, events developed most dynamically around ocheretny, having occupied the dominant heights where the village is located, which until recently was the main defensive center on this part of the front, the russians continued their offensive in the northwest direction on novooleksandrivka. part of the enemy troops continues to advance along the railway track in the direction of the village of progress. such tactics are connected with the fact that this territory is difficult. replace on the other hand, the armed forces of the russian federation are quite vulnerable to artillery, moving almost across open territory. at the same time, the occupiers are expanding their flanks to protect themselves from a counterattack by the armed forces. in this way, they captured novobakhmutivka and solovyovy and began an attack on the village of sokil. on the left flank, the rashists managed to drive a wedge between the two brigades and the occupied village - novokalynovy keramik. and our troops left. to arkhangelsk.

after the enemy took the turn, climbed to the commanding heights and managed to expand his flanks, he had an opportunity choose the direction of your main offensive, or move west towards pokrovsk, or north to kostyantynivka. despite the exact distance of 30 km between the two cities, the attack on pokrovsk is more problematic due to logistical problems that will certainly arise if the front line is extended only in one section. offensive on constantine. looks more promising, because it is simultaneously being pressured by other troops from the side of the temporal abyss. in addition, it will allow bypassing the defense of turkey and new york, where the front line has not changed since of 2014. therefore, the occupiers intensified their attack on the liberation of klishchivka and andriyivka in the summer, which are like a bone standing against their plans to invade. despite the difficult situation under the time gap, the front line has not changed. in the future, a part of ivanivsky will receive reinforcements, without the occupation of which... a full-fledged attack on the city

is impossible. in summary, it is worth paying attention to the fact that 2.5 months have passed since the occupation of avdiyivka, and during this time, despite all efforts , the russians did not manage to break through the front, and their advance was 12-13 km to the west and to the north, and only diagonally in the direction of ochereteny they traveled 22 km. at the same time, the armed forces demonstrated the flexibility of defense and the availability of resources that can be thrown into battle, having necessary ammunition. battle for krasnohorivka. a week after the russians almost broke through to the central areas of the city, the situation here has changed dramatically. the defense forces managed to repel the rashists not only from the central regions, but also from the eastern ones. currently, the enemy is entrenched only in a small part of the southern districts of the city. on everyone else fierce battles continue in the areas. the offensive on kupyansk. this week, the rashists broke through our positions in the kislivka area and almost captured this village, which is 22 meters from kupinsk. this is

an attempt to continue the offensive on kupinsk through the route that runs from svatovo. back in january , the russians managed to capture the villages of krokhmalnyi and bayivka. however, the last zsu managed to repulse. then the invaders occupied 8 km of the strategically important road, but could not develop success, in particular thanks to the defense in kislivka and nearby kotlyarivka. now after the occupation kislivka, our soldiers in kotlyarivka found themselves under threat from the encirclement, and therefore forces. will move to other positions. in addition, the russians activated their assaults near the villages of beristov and novoselivske, but the defense forces pushed them back. southern prospects of a counteroffensive. while heavy fighting continues in donetsk region, the armed forces direct their atakams and drones in the southern direction. after the destruction of the anti-aircraft defense system near jenko, new missiles flew to the tarkhankutu area, where they took out all four s-300 and s-400 air defense systems. in addition, these days are numerous explosions flowed in simferopol, gvardiysky and

again in dzhankoya. balovna's results will be known later. in addition, in the krasnodar region of the russian federation, a massive strike by drones once again stopped the refineries in slovyansk and ilsky. in addition, the strike on the airfield in kushchivsk was well-timed. about fifty fighter jets fly from there to ukraine during the day. su-34 and su-35, which are not hardened aerial bombs. as a result of the strike , a part of the warehouses behind the aerial bombs was definitely destroyed. and also probably damaged part of the planes. this strike demonstrates vulnerability strategically airfields important to the russian federation, which will force the russians to anger the planes and move the air defense systems. well, in addition to what was said, here is literally the news of the last day, that the ukrainian troops managed to launch an attack and restore positions east of yampolivka in the kupyansk direction. by the forces of the 23rd, er,

brigade and the 63rd brigade, such a defeat of the enemy's position was carried out with a subsequent assault, and it was unexpected for the enemy, and that's not bad, but... our guest, vladyslav, has already joined us seleznyov, military expert, colonel of the zsu, spokesman of the general headquarters, i congratulate you, mr. vladyslav, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, and here, well, let's start with the most such, well, if difficult, that is, actually, the advance in the pokrovsky direction continues, they captured ceramics, novokal. is advancing further to arkhangelsk and this advance cannot be stopped at the moment, that is, it is advancing along this railway offensive, just like, well, this is the impression along the avenue, why so, well, actually,

why is it impossible even on the flanks to somehow suppress them, that is, in fact, now, well, some such a situation, rolling, rolling, rolling, lost. and unexpected for many, because there was a rotation, the brigade that entered the position did not actually fall out, did not fulfill the combat orders, i hope that there will be an appropriate post-operational analysis at the level of the ministry of defense and the general staff , and the officials who did not fulfill the order are to blame , they will be brought to justice, because it is obvious that questions about the courage of our soldiers who tried to hold the enemy's attention on this part of the front are unlikely will arise, so this is a purely organizational issue, purely... unjustified commander’s decisions, which destroyed the line of defensive boundaries on this part of the front, the situation is actually very difficult, because the enemy not only has an advance on this part of the front, he ensures this advance behind due to the multiple superiority in numbers, it

has as little as possible in trech, and even four times the number of armored vehicles, it has at least six and sometimes seven times the number of personnel, and this creates certain opportunities for the enemy army, because more, most likely, in the near future , the enemy will stop advancing in depth, that is, west of the reeds, but will begin to expand control of the territory along the flanks, well, it is clear why, in order to maximally secure such advanced stormtroopers of their own army, which operate west of ocheritiny, the challenge is definitely very serious, because behind ocheritiny, a kind of wilderness begins, on the territory of which it is quite difficult to organize defensive lines and positions, and this is a serious one. got used to, despite the fact that the ukrainian army still lacks artillery ammunition, and most likely this trend will be observed for at least two, and maybe even three weeks, until the american ammunition does not enter the line on the line of battle, such problems will be faced by the ukrainian army, on the one hand the rate

of advance of the enemy army is several hundred meters per day, but nevertheless the trend is not very great, but again i emphasize that in the long run we should not make ... such mistakes, here now a thorough post-operative analysis, that is, it is necessary to find out whose activity, or rather inaction, caused such a situation, and to hold the military officials responsible for their inaction, who caused such a tragedy. we should also understand the following: the enemy will use the same window of opportunity created by the ukrainian army's lack of not only artillery, but also air defense systems. of course, our aviation component is not as powerful as that of the russians, president volodymyr zelenskyi declares that the ratio of aviation equipment is one ukrainian aircraft, 30 russian ones, that is, under such conditions, the enemy, taking advantage of this opportunity, will push wherever possible and to the maximum distances,

because the mission, which began in february 22, regarding the complete occupation of the entire territory donetsk region and luhansk region, it must be implemented, and precisely for implementation. russian invaders. well, in addition to the fact that some conclusions must be drawn at the local level in the brigade, but probably also the staff planning should be enough somehow be something else bevno. the responsibility must be individual, but it is precisely the totality of certain decisions, whether they were made or, on the contrary, not made, that led to this extraordinary complexity. the situation, most likely the ukrainian defense forces will have to retreat to some sections of the front precisely in this part of the bozdityni line in order to level the front line, well, of course, i hope that the task of president volodymyr zelenskyi regarding the creation of trier lines of defensive structures has been implemented, and so

our soldiers, who are now forced to leave, will be able to establish themselves on new frontiers and positions, which will be built in time, i.e., in the future, equipped and equipped with everything necessary. well, mr. vladyslav, it is clear that, in the direction of, well, let's say, it is overdue, so to speak. it is difficult to say whether it is pokrovsky there or they are more directed to konstantinivka, the russians even moved some two new brigades there, but in the meantime, well, it seems like such a main direction is emerging, but in the meantime we see an escalation of the fighting on kupianivka direction, which did not happen for a long time, and their advance in the kupyan direction, which also did not happen for a long time, well, actually, in addition, here is also the latest news that the occupier managed to advance. near novoaleksandrivka and in urozhayny, urozhayne is to the west of the coal mine, er, that is, there too, this is what

you say, they are trying to press in different directions and feel what it is, i think that vorok is already here laying the foundations of the future summer offensive, because most likely the enemy will act on two main directions, implementing their alarmist plans, and on two auxiliary ones, two auxiliary ones - this is, as you rightly note, the district. kupinsky, it was there that the enemy concentrated 71 thousand of his soldiers, who, by the way, are equipped with the largest tank component, we remember that tanks are primarily for attack, and most likely our soldiers, who hold a bridgehead on the left bank of the askila river, will have to in the long term, it is quite difficult, the battle is short-handed, the provision of an army fence and, accordingly, a sufficient amount of resources creates many challenges for our soldiers, who are now fighting fiercely on this part of the front, what is it? concerns the intensification of hostilities in the south of zaporizhzhya region, this one in the staromayorsky area, this one in the rabotino area,

yes, i think that in this way the enemy is trying to stretch our strategic reserves as much as possible, because all these two areas of the front are on diametrically opposite sides of the combat line , where the battles mainly take place, as for the main areas where the fighting will be typical, then most likely this the same area, the direction to pokrovsk, i.e., the line to... the vicinity and, accordingly , the chasyar area, and i am sure that the enemy will attack our garrison head-on, which is defending the time of verkovok, and it is likely that he will try to go around the heights, on the flanks in order to form in time the appropriate pods, in order to move further towards the slavyansk-kramatorsk urban agglomeration, because in fact this agglomeration is no bigger than those territories of donetsk region that are under the control of the ukrainian government. in any case, i agree with everything. statesman and military experts who claim that the summer of this year will be extremely

peaceful for us, because the enemy has accumulated the appropriate resources, and i hope that the ukrainian army will manage to obtain a sufficient amount of resources by that time to counter all the enemy's plans for its offensive. but you already said that this is a window of opportunity for the russians, and how long do you think this window of opportunity will last? great question actually, because when general budanov... months ago, what was he talking about the fact that by the beginning of march the enemy will run out of all his resources for launching large-scale offensive actions, i absolutely clearly understood that our head of military intelligence is right, usually large-scale combat operations of an offensive nature take place within three, maximum five months, here already for the seventh month in a row, the enemy army finds adequate resources, including strategic reserves, in order to continue the offensive campaign. the logic of the russians' actions is clear, they are trying to take advantage of this opportunity when we

there is a critical lack of an artillery component, but what is not less is the limits of the physical capabilities of the personnel, there is psychological, physical, emotional fatigue, but we can see that even these factors somehow do not have too much influence on the intensity of hostilities, against the background of the president's statements regarding that from the beginning of may and the beginning of summer... or rather, at the end of may, at the beginning of summer , large-scale hostilities of a new phase will begin, the question arises, how quickly did russia win and accumulate the appropriate material and technical resources and prepare a sufficient number of reserves, although, if we talk about the total number of enemy personnel, then 469 thousand, this figure does not change, a certain rotation of enemy forces took place, for example , up to 10 thousand enemy... troops were partially moved from the territory of the luhansk region, occupied by the enemy, on the territory of the belgorod region,

for example, in the belgorod direction now has more than 30,000 of its soldiers, and in general, if we are talking about the russian regions bordering ukraine, we are talking about briadshchyna, the kursk region and the belgorod region, there a total of approximately 50,000 russian military personnel performing certain missions, whether they will be used for a large-scale attack towards our territories, either on chernihiv, or on sumy, or on... the scope of work on the creation of engineering fortifications along the border with the russian federation. but nevertheless, the trend is quite threatening and i think that we should wait for the official reports from our intelligence, er, what will happen in the future, we all understand about this, most likely, the same auxiliary direction will play in kharkiv oblast a considerable role in the intensification of hostilities, because it is precisely because of the short shoulder of the carriage that everything

for the needs of the russian occupiers operating on this part of the front can be quite intense there... well, in addition, apparently there may just be an attempt to again after all, it is impossible to divert our forces, to drag them there, so it is impossible to completely exclude even the sumy direction, kharkiv, which is involved in some form. yes, in fact, this is very important to emphasize, because despite the fact that it is unlikely to push the enemy for the purpose of occupation, for example it's sad, but most likely there will be subversive intelligence groups on our border. enemy mortars and enemy artillery will be actively working, just as actively the vorok will use the aviation component to launch a guided aerial bomb in our direction, that is, such challenges definitely exist, and this must be taken into account, but regarding a large-scale offensive operation, as it was in february in the 22nd year, then hardly. well, and another thing, there were reports about the f-16

after easter and at the same time there were reports that the russians were delaying your. well, the planes are somewhere deeper in russia, well , that is, from those airfields that were directly along the border, and this is the impression that these are some kind of interconnected events, what do you think? i think that the enemy reflects on the processes that take place at airfields located up to 300 km from the line of combat with the ukrainian defense forces, because the further we are, the more often we use our drones when it comes to the territory. of the russian federation, as well as our missiles, including when it comes to the temporarily occupied territories of our country in order to chase the same planes. vorok suffers losses, including aviation equipment, and in order to protect it from the departure of our drones and missiles, he moves them further. in fact, this is a serious challenge and problem for the russians, because if the radius of combat use of enemy aircraft

will be physically increased, then the capabilities of the russian attack force will be increased accordingly. will be somewhat reduced, well, this creates certain advantages for us, certain opportunities, will the f-16 fighters become wonderwaffes for us, i have a rather cautious skepticism for the obvious reason, we are not we know with which missile equipment and weapons we will receive the same f16 fighters, and it is precisely on this that the combat capabilities of these f16s and, accordingly, the ability to destroy the enemy depends. equipment of the enemy's saiyan composition, that is, support with the help of 16 actions of ukrainian troops, both on dry land, and i hope for prospects over the waters of the black sea and azov seas. the challenge is very serious, but i think that these things do not become public, that is, the missile weapons that will be transferred with the f-16 from absolutely for obvious reasons, the less the general public knows about such information, the less

the enemy knows about it. i hope that our air force , together with our western partners, is preparing a lot of unpleasant things. for enemy troops and forces. well , how do you evaluate the conversations that f-16s can be based there in romania, take off from there and then work there on the territory? how realistic is this story? well, this is actually the direct participation of romania, if we are talking about this country as a country that is a direct participant in the russian-ukrainian confrontation, and this is actually the involvement of nato in... this conflict, it is unlikely that there will be any legal basis for the implementation of these missions, i think that it is still worth trusting the statements of the spokesman of the air force command , mr. yevlash, who says that they are being built underground bunkers, protective, concrete bunkers for the protection of our aviation equipment, in addition, litovych, including operational airfields in our country or, on the territory

of our country, there are many, and precisely by means of dispersion, as well as reliable cover these military objects with the help of... air defense systems can achieve, it is possible to achieve relevant successes, for example, the lithuanian settlement near the settlement of stara kostiantynov in the territory of khmelnytskyi, the enemy constantly directs its drones and missiles there, does it have a kibitovo profit , it seems that not, because the territory is quite large, a fairly powerful air defense system is located there, and i think that the enemy is constantly launching missile and drone strikes there for a reason, because the previous... strikes did not reach the appropriate results and the corresponding missions were not implemented, it is quite likely that other military bases located in this part of our country, that is, er... the western, southwestern part of our country can be used for this purpose, although again, it is unlikely that we in the near future, we will also learn the locations of the f16 deployments, this is fair, and exactly

how they will act, although the fact that the aviation component is currently quite actively used for the implementation of certain missions, in particular over the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, because not only drones, not only attack missiles fly over crimea, it also flies there. and we know that the carriers of these missiles are our good old su-24 bombers, so these planes also perform a very important mission of destroying the enemy's military potential in crimea and sevastopol, well, let's hope that the main thing for us is that the enemy didn't find out where the planes were, or couldn't throw anything there, couldn't attack, this is a priority for us, and literally briefly, in one word, how far is russia? not can pull their planes away from the front line and for them to still fly to this front line, how many kilometers is it, i think it can

be about 400 km, no more than fools, it will be completely ineffective, as for attack aircraft, well, that is, in theory , after all, if attacks were to be thrown there, it would be realistic to get them more or less from certain places, well, maybe, maybe, yes, thanks to vladyslav seliznyov, this is a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, a spokesman general headquarters in 2014-17, now we have a break, i remind you about our gathering for fpv drones for the 93rd beard of the cold yara of the 72nd brigade of the black zaporozhets, remember this, join in, and actually now there is a pause, after the pause we 'll get back to talking about the direction of the time rift. also again about the work of rap, about the work of drones, about various such things with the person directly on the front line, so wait, exclusively on

the air of our channel, congratulations, friends, on the air of the political club on the espresso tv channel, the most current topics of the week: russia's war against ukraine, the war in the middle east, the crisis on the border between ukraine and... poland, topics that resonate in our society, drone attacks on kyiv and other cities of ukraine, drone attacks on moscow and other cities of russia, analysis of processes that change the country and each of us. the country should get the right to start negotiations on joining the eu. vitaly portnikov and the guests of the project: we are bored, because there is nothing to fight about, let's have a good time, they help us understand the present and predict the future. then a second trump presidency will be terrible. a project for those who care and think. political club. every sunday at 20:10 at espresso. events events

that are happening right now and affect our lives. of course, the news feed reports on them. however, it was not enough to know what was happening. it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess the events, analyze them, simulating ours. future every saturday at 1:10 p.m. with a repeat on sundays at 10:10 a.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. so, let's go back, i remind you about the collection of fpv drones for the 93rd cold brigade yar and the 72nd brigade of black zaporozhets, we are collecting 2 million for our own production, testing, variations for the needs of the hawks, join, see private. monobank, you see the qr code, it is very important and we really hope for your support, because there is already a small part left, and

one more guest joined us, this is maksym matviychuk, commander of the intelligence platoon of the rubizh brigade, an officer of the national guard of ukraine. congratulations, maxim, congratulations, studio, congratulations tv viewers. well, as far as i understand, you are now in the direction of yar times, and tell me a little then, because it seems that the situation has also worsened there for you, but literally also these days, as far as we know, it is true, the enemy does not stop trying to continue the assault actions in the direction of the temporal ravine, in particular, the front-line, let's say , bodies, he tries to bypass them. population center from the flanks, why, because to take the time of the ivars, to re-enter the city battles, well , the enemy understands that it will be very difficult for them, in

some cases even... impossible, that is, they actually provide a sufficient number of their personnel , which they do not now they can, they are also frankly running out of people, they already have insufficient reserves, they are being removed by combat units from other parts of the front in order to develop success at least somewhere. now they act according to a different principle, that they conduct reconnaissance of the battle in different sections of the line of battle, find places of glory and then carry out assault actions there. now they have intensified, this is the first nuance, the second nuance: the enemy has increased the number of artillery and aviation in this direction, that is, in fact , he is now completely destroying what about our platoon base points, what about the city as a whole. well, a week ago you said on our broadcast that, in principle , you use fpv drones quite effectively as a replacement for other types of weapons that are lacking there, but it is interesting to what extent it is...

does the enemy manage to use drones just as effectively, or well, our reb somehow manages to change these possibilities a little bit, and yes, first of all, the enemy also uses podrons, they saw its effectiveness from us, they liked it and they also adopt this tactic a little bit themselves, but so far their power, which is at the peak of time, as seen by me and my comrades from the rubizh brigade, is not much greater than ours, that is... for one of their epividrons there are three of ours. are much better developed and can clearly and better destroy the enemy at the expense of the enemy . the main purpose of the creation was precisely that, yes

they are finishing now. are reworking some of their rap tools to make it impossible for our regular drones to work in fpv. but on the other hand, we went to a different tactic, these are trench raps, which directly on the spot do not allow the enemy to work on the demarcation line itself, firstly, they are small and easily portable, secondly, they can be installed in almost any position in order to to make the enemy's work impossible, and the more of them, the better, on the one hand, and on the other, we can use them. and use as we want, conditionally, he, his radius of operation is not so large, and our forces to our villages can conditionally turn off trench slaves in one direction so that our fpvs fly by, destroy the enemy, and then turn it on, creating again such a tiny dome for yourself, which will not allow the enemy to use their drones to destroy our forces. well, a week ago we spoke with yehor firsov from

avdiivskyi. direction, and he says that there is a problem, after all, the work is not fully coordinated, that is, there is none such a common application that would allow us to effectively and timely understand who included what, where. in your direction, how much do you feel about this problem of miscommunication? at the moment, such a problem concerns the majority of the fact that there are various types of units from left to right, and as long as the information reaches, let's say, directly to the ... position in connection with the operational situation, in connection with the communication itself, yes in connection with the transfer of the team's punctuality, because the more, let's say, these intermediate links, the more difficult and is happening, so yes, there are problems with this always and everywhere, but here it depends on the question of time, if we take again the fighters of the frontier brigade, its coordination, it happens almost instantly, because this system of communication and command transmission has been around for a long, long time

set up and... so far there have been no problems with this in our area, as it happens with other units, with some it may be better, with some worse, it all depends only on the operational situation on the spot, whether the enemy is trying to jam the transmission link and do not give the ability to transmit data even through the same radio station, well, you've probably also seen the eyes that the russians put on tanks, they hang everything there as effectively as these barbecues and these and the eyes. on tanks and to what extent, in principle, have we already managed to somehow also apply it? well, frankly, if they weren't effective, the enemy wouldn't use them, we can't point out that the enemies there are brainless, no, they have intelligence, they know how, they adapt to war and...
